This review discusses the management of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) and
atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs). There are several types of VSDs: perimembranous …

Transcatheter closure has been widely accepted as a highly effective way to treat abnormal
blood flows and/or embolization of thrombus in the heart. It allows the closure of four types of …

Background While transcatheter device closure of ventricular septal defects (VSDs) is
gaining popularity, concerns remain about adverse events; particularly heart block in peri …

Background The objective of this study was to evaluate the safety and efficacy of
transcatheter closure of ventricular septal defects (VSD) using the LifeTech™ multifunctional …

Abstract In August 2010, the Nit-Occlud® Lê (EUREVECO) became available for
transcatheter coil occlusion of ventricular septal defects (VSDs). Retrospective European …

Interventional closure of congenital ventricular septal defects (VSD) is recording a
continuous rise in acceptance. Complete atrioventricular block (cAVB) and residual shunting …

Percutaneous closure of ventricular septal defect (VSD) can effectively occlude abnormal
blood flow between ventricles. However, commonly used Nitinol occlusion devices have non …

The field of congenital interventional cardiology has experienced tremendous growth in
recent years. Beginning with the development of early devices for transcatheter closure of …

Background This study summarizes the clinical experience and 8-year follow-up results of
the intraoperative device closure of ventricular septal defects (VSD). Methods From January …

Background Transcatheter perimembranous ventricular septal defect (pmVSD) closure
remains challenging and is seldom used in France given the risk of atrioventricular block …
